‘Enterprises of Tomorrow’ can bring in transformational change by making societal value creation a conscious strategic decision and not one that banks on corporate conscience alone. ITC has always believed that businesses possess unique strengths to make a larger contribution to society. If the creative and innovative energies that businesses employ to create world-class products and brands are leveraged to deliver social initiatives that serve a larger national objective, it can have a transformative impact on society.

It is this belief that has spurred ITC to craft innovative strategies that orchestrate a symphony of efforts aimed at enriching the environment, creating sustainable livelihoods, empowering local communities and addressing the challenge of climate change.

Y C DeveshwarChairman, ITC Limited

It has been our resolve to build an exemplary Indian enterprise that would create enduring value for our country. An organisation that would adopt the credo of putting ‘India First’ – keeping Country before Corporation and the Institution before the Individual. Over the years, the patriotic sense of ‘India First’ has grown into a full-blown aspiration to be a National Champion subserving the country’s larger priorities. This is not only manifest in the creation of world-class Indian brands, but also in the Triple Bottom Line goals of the Company to nurture larger societal value. The need to sustain global competitiveness in economic value creation, whilst simultaneously creating larger societal value, has led to innovation in business models that seek to synergise the building of economic, ecological and social capital as a unified strategy.

A new paradigm of growth is today called for – an integrated Triple Bottom Line approach that builds competitiveness whilst at the same time ensuring that the environment is nourished and large-scale sustainable livelihoods are created. I call this new paradigm ‘Responsible Competitiveness’, which to my mind is a pre-requisite to creating a more sustainable future.

The ITC e-Choupal initiative is a powerful illustration of a unique and innovative model that delivers significant societal value by co-creating markets with rural communities. A network of village internet kiosks – e-Choupals – enable even small and marginal farmers in rural India, who are de-linked from the formal market, to access real-time weather and price information, and relevant knowledge and services to enhance farm productivity, quality and command better prices – improving their competitiveness and capacity to manage risk.

Complementing this digital infrastructure is Choupal Pradarshan Khet – customised agri-extension services, demonstration plots and training programmes that promote best practices and assist farmers to diversify crop portfolios.

The ITC e-Choupal initiative has emerged as an efficient two-way channel for a variety of goods and services, raising farm incomes and making farming more profitable. In line with ITC’s commitment to the triple bottom line philosophy, the Company is leveraging the e-Choupal platform to support holistic development of rural communities in and around e-Choupal catchments through a number of initiatives – agarbatti manufacturing, dairy management and skills development – aimed at stimulating non-farm incomes and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities. This endeavour also includes the Swasthya Choupal initiative that focuses on enhancing awareness on maternal and child care through a network of Village Health Champions.

Afforestation

A key plank in ITC’s natural resource management strategy and a pioneering venture in wasteland development, ITC’s Social & Farm Forestry Programme brings multiple social and environmental benefits. It enables farmers who own wastelands and lands with low levels of productivity to grow commercially viable pulpwood plantations, thereby turning an unproductive asset into a profitable one. To ensure the commercial viability of these plantations, ITC invested in extensive R&D to develop fast-growing clonal saplings that are disease-resistant and have a higher rate of survival in harsh conditions. Under the Social Forestry component of the Programme, tribals and marginal farmers are assisted with loans, subsidised clonal stock and extension services. Farm Forestry targets farmers with investible incomes. On harvest, farmers are free to transact at will and sell to whoever they choose.

ITC could have chosen the easier route of importing pulp, rather than the more difficult option of mobilising tribal and marginal farmers which required long gestation and substantial investment exposure. However, adopting the more challenging route has not only created a source of sustainable livelihoods for a large number of poor families, but has generated large-scale green cover that contributes significantly to groundwater recharge, soil conservation and carbon sequestration.

Adopting the agro-forestry model that combines tree growing with crop production, the Programme ensures both food and wood security as well as helps in the conservation of precious natural resources. ITC has been conferred the Forest Management certification from the Forest Stewardship Council, which confirms compliance with the highest international benchmarks of plantation management in terms of being environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable.

Recognising the vital role played by water and irrigation in the rural economy, ITC’s Soil & Moisture Conservation Programme supports watershed development projects in water-stressed areas, providing precious water resources for agriculture, rural communities and livestock. The focus is on building, reviving and maintaining water harvesting structures as well as implementing other measures which help to reverse land degradation, provide critical irrigation and increase agricultural productivity. Adopting a participatory approach, ITC works with NGOs to mobilise local communities to form water user groups. These groups are trained to carry out the entire spectrum of activities from planning to execution, including monitoring of work and future maintenance of structures. The groups are also trained to formulate regulations and fix water user charges which go towards creating a fund used to maintain existing structures and build new ones.

ITC has also entered into public-private-people partnerships with several state governments and NABARD, bringing together government and corporate resources to undertake watershed development projects with considerably greater scale and impact. Currently, these projects are targeting to cover over 3,90,000 acres in some of India’s most drought-prone regions.

Animal husbandry plays an important role in the economy of rural India with over 70% of households owning milch animals. Adopting an integrated animal husbandry services approach, ITC’s Programme aims to assist cattle-owners to increase the productivity of their animals and improve milk quality. Targeting marginal households, comprehensive services, including artificial insemination, animal feed and healthcare management, are provided right at the doorstep through village Cattle Development Centres managed by trained local community members.

Milk yields from cross-bred progeny are significantly higher, generating substantial supplementary incomes from surplus milk sales, paving the way for dairying to emerge as a viable livelihood option. This income also acts as a cushion in times of crop failure.

Livestock Development

Specifically designed for women from economically weaker sections of rural communities, ITC’s Women Empowerment Programme aims to provide them with sustainable economic livelihood opportunities through financial assistance as well as skills training. Women are motivated to form micro-credit self-help groups so that they can build up small savings, finance self-employment and micro-enterprises.

ITC is also working towards making agriculture more inclusive by enabling marginal women farmers to enhance their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural practices. Farmer field schools exclusively for women agriculturalists cover a wide range of best practices, such as improved seeds and balanced fertilisers, as well as techniques for scientific land use and water conservation. Assisted by ITC, women’s self-help groups have recently started farm mechanisation equipment hire centres and tree sapling nurseries. Acting collectively, women have also formed solid waste management groups that undertake door-to-door garbage collection, segregation of waste as well as making and selling organic manure. These small ventures have the potential to grow into successful and profitable independent enterprises in the future.

One of ITC’s interventions targets Ultra Poor women with the objective of mainstreaming them socio-economically over a period of time. ITC assists these women with productive income generating assets, supported with intensive handholding, counseling, on-job assistance, training and local level facilitation with the aim of bringing them into the financial mainstream.

Enabling women to earn independent incomes has a positive impact on their families and communities as it is spent largely on their children’s education, health and nutrition and is a powerful catalyst for gendering development and supporting social inclusion.

ITC’s Primary Education Programme addresses the lack of quality primary education in rural communities. Aiming to strengthen the government primary schools’ vast network by stemming drop-outs, increasing enrolments and improving learning outcomes, the Programme puts in place mutually reinforcing interventions that are coordinated to support a move towards child friendly schools.

Infrastructural assistance is provided to government schools, ranging from books, teaching aids and furniture to classrooms, separate toilets for boys and girls, libraries, cooking/kitchen facilities and playground /sports equipment. Focusing particularly on sanitation and health, students and teachers are trained on WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) principles, and students are motivated to form WATSAN (Water and Sanitation) Committees and Child Cabinets to take ownership of WASH areas in schools, helping to promote behavioural change among children in their formative years.

The Read India Plus initiative, in partnership with the NGO, Pratham, was introduced in 2013. Utilising an innovative pedagogy, it is geared towards helping children between the ages of 6-14 to achieve all five competencies – Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and Doing.

The Programme also works to strengthen school management committees and build capacity among teachers to ensure that infrastructure can be sustainably maintained in the long run. Active engagement with parents is encouraged, towards developing collaborative partnerships in building the community’s stake in ensuring that more and more children are able to complete their schooling.

ITC’s skilling initiative for boys and girls focuses on employability and employment linkages with the larger purpose of empowering rural communities and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities. The initiative aims to build market relevant skills so as to make potential job seekers industry-ready and employable in the manufacturing and service sectors. It focuses on the most marginalised sections of communities, including women. As part of ITC’s affirmative action plan, it also targets Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes – among the most socially and economically disadvantaged.

The initiative offers training in market-linked skills for the hospitality, automotive, electrical, retail, computer and construction sectors as well as in a range of trades and services – tailoring, beautician, bedside nursing and security. Courses run for 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the skill. On completion, placement camps are organised to facilitate employment opportunities.

Open defecation remains a persistent and pervasive problem across the country. It is particularly acute in rural areas where there is a lack of awareness regarding the causality between open defecation and health related issues, especially of diarrhoeal diseases which are a major cause of child mortality in India. ITC’s Health & Sanitation initiative seeks to address this serious issue by supporting the building and usage of low-cost family-owned toilets in the catchments of its manufacturing units, the majority of which are located in rural areas.

ITC’s strategy is centred on galvanising a people’s movement and mobilising empowered grassroots institutions that take the lead in building family-owned toilets. Intensive awareness generation programmes customised to target men, women and children combined with a mandatory financial contribution from participating families help to ensure high and sustained usage levels of the constructed toilets. Wherever possible, the initiative works in active collaboration with government sanitation schemes.

ITC – Pioneering the Green Building Movement in India

* Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design

Reflecting its commitment to a green growth strategy, ITC has been in the vanguard of the green building movement in India. Green buildings are a vital plank in ITC’s agenda for positive environmental action. All its premium luxury hotels are LEED®* Platinum certified. Over the years, several ITC properties — including factories and employee residences — have also been LEED® certified. Some properties have also received 5 star ratings from GRIHA, the highest Indian rating for green buildings, and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).

The ITC Green Centre in Gurgaon, headquarters of ITC’s Hotels Division, is the highest rated green building in the world. In 2004, the centre was one of the first and largest commercial buildings in the world to receive Platinum LEED® certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC). ITC Grand Chola in Chennai is the world’s largest LEED® Platinum hotel. Recently, ITC Sankhya, the ITC Group’s data centre in Bengaluru, received the LEED® Platinum certification, becoming the world’s first data centre to receive the US Green Building Council’s (USGBC’s) highest certification.

ITC has redefined the fine art of hospitality in myriad ways through its hotel chain that spans a network of around 100 hotels. The group’s super-premium luxury hotels – the iconic ‘ITC Hotels’ – not only offer unmatched hospitality but have also set new standards of excellence in cuisine, guest experiences and environmental performance.

The world’s first and largest green hotel chain, ITC Hotels’ signature properties have created new benchmarks in responsible hoteliering by delivering a unique value proposition, ‘Responsible Luxury’ that integrates international green best practices with contemporary design, harnessing every element of nature in an inspired setting to create a footprint that contributes to being planet positive.

Every hotel in the ITC Hotels luxury chain is LEED® * Platinum certified

Today, all 11 of ITC’s super-premium luxury hotels are certified ‘green buildings’, having received the prestigious LEED® Platinum certification from either the US Green Building Council (USGBC) or the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), further reinforcing the chain’s commitment to perform to the highest standards of energy, water and waste efficiency. ITC Grand Chola in Chennai is the world’s largest LEED® Platinum certified Green Hotel in the New Construction category.

The ‘Responsible Luxury’ commitment of ITC Hotels is manifested in its own carbon, water and waste sensitive operations and by its contributions to ITC’s larger social investments in afforestation, water harvesting and waste recycling, providing sustainable livelihoods to many.

Supporting the Differently Abled

ITC’s Hotels Business is proactively engaged in creating opportunities for differently abled people and generating awareness among potential employers. It has also prepared two handbooks, ITC Hotels Disability Handbook for Industry’ and ‘A Guide to Universal Design in Built Environments: A Guide for Creating Accessible Building Infrastructure for Persons with Disability’, to guide industry action in this endeavour.

Renewable Energy at ITCIn line with its conscious strategy to lower its carbon footprint, ITC has steadily enlarged its clean energy portfolio. Currently, renewable sources and carbon neutral fuels provide over 48% of the Company’s total energy consumption. ITC aims to progressively raise this to 50% by 2020.

Several of the Company’s factories, facilities and premium luxury hotels, including its iconic property in Chennai, ITC Grand Chola, as well as the ITC Infotech Park are powered by wind energy.

Renewable energy sources in ITC comprise the following:

Black liquor waste from the pulping process and waste wood biomass from chipping operations in the Bhadrachalam Unit of ITC’s Paperboards & Specialty Papers Business.

Locally sourced chip/sawdust and deoiled bran as boiler fuel in the Kovai Unit.

Wind Energy farms for Packaging & Printing, FMCG, Hotels and Paperboards & Specialty Papers Businesses.

Improved utilisation of carbon neutral biofuels in the Paperboards & Specialty Papers Business and the year round year operations of wind power projects in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu contribute to increased utilisation of renewable energy.

In line with its commitment to creating larger environmental and societal value through collaborative action, ITC launched its Well-being Out of Waste (WOW) initiative a few years ago to promote resource conservation and recycling. WOW creates awareness about the importance of “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle” in protecting and restoring the environment among the general public, school children, corporates and people from every walk of life. It also inculcates the habit of source segregation and provides recyclables for a number of industries, eg. paper, glass, plastic, etc.

Implemented in collaboration with municipal corporations, today WOW is operational in 417 municipal wards of Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Delhi, Tirupati and Muzaffarpur. Over 64 lakh citizens, 25 lakh school children and 2,000 corporates are supporting WOW, which helps augment green cover, conserves scarce natural resources, makes surroundings clean and healthy. The initiative has also created livelihood opportunities for 13,500 rag pickers and waste collectors. Similar programmes are also operational in several districts in Saharanpur, Hooghly, Kolkata, Munger, Guntur, Madurai, Pune, Thiruvallur, Chennai and Haridwar.

Promoting Thought Leadership in Sustainability

The ‘CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development’ (CII-CESD) established by ITC in 2006 in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), endeavours to promote sustainable business practices amongst Indian enterprises. Over the past decade or so, the Centre has emerged as a platform for thought leadership and action in sustainability, reaching out to corporates, equipping them with new knowledge, information and know-how on critical issues. It organises the Sustainability Summit annually, drawing experts and participants from across the country to deliberate on a wide range of sustainability issues.

The Centre has instituted the CII-ITC Sustainability Awards in 2006 as part of its efforts to recognise and reward exemplary enterprises for their pioneering and innovative work in sustainability.

The India Business & Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI), was launched by the CII-ITC Centre in 2014, as a broad-based multi-stakeholder programme involving the business, government, non-government organisations and academia. The initiative has released the publication,‘Bridging Business and Biodiversity: Innovative Approaches’, in association with the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, highlighting the concept of natural capital and its relation to biodiversityand ecosystem services. The Centre also works with the Government of India on various legislations and policies concerning business and environment. It participated in the 21st session of the Conference of Parties (CoP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Parisin 2015. It also engaged with the Government of India to help draft India’s Intended National Determined Contributions (INDC) for COP21, mobilising inputs from key industry segments, and ensuring that industry was fully aligned with the Government on the implementation of the INDCs.
